Digital BW, The Print

Hi Steve,

I think it may have been Clayton who contributed this method:

- When you're ready to change the carts that are low, bring the 
carriage to the appropriate position

- Replace the necessary carts but don't press the "ink" button

- Wait several minutes for gravity to "prime" the head with ink from 
the new carts

- Turn the printer off and wait a minute or two 

- Now when you turn the printer on again, the unit should assume 
the "ready state" without triggering a "charging cycle"

I couldn't find the original post, so I hope that I have credited and 
quoted it correctly. The method does seem to work just fine...

Hope this helps!

Richard
